Arthur is cornered in an alley by Ms. Lint’s thugs, only to watch as a black-clad man with superpowers appear and murder all of them before disappearing. The police arrive, see only Arthur and several corpses, and put two and two together, bringing Arthur in for questioning. Fortunately for Arthur, security camera footage comes to light, showing the real killer: a super-anti-hero named Overkill. Overkill’s horrifying reputation is enough to put Arthur off the idea of further superheroics, and he returns to his day job. But danger follows him there in the form of Overkill…and even more danger follows in the form of the Tick. Arthur’s about to put in some overtime with Overkill.
